Hi everybody,
The left break light on My Honda Civic CX 97 suddenly stopped working when I hit breaks. The right one is OK. I have replaced the bulb, no luck. I look at the schema of the fuses but cannot find a fuse specifically responsible for the break light/lights.

I would appreciate any suggestion on the following:

1. Is the break light bulb THE SAME as the tail-lights bulb? Or I am replacing the wrong bulb? I see only 2 bulbs there - one for signalling turns and another - for tail lights. It seems that the tail light bulb is the same as break bulb, just has to light brighter when hitting breaks. Or is it?

2. Where else can I look for the problem? Do left and right break lights have one fuse or separate?

Thank you very much for your help.

Peter
 
Never mind, I found the problem.
Apparently, I replaced the wrong bulb: the real rear break bulb is not very much visible when you open the plastic cover, its located higher under the plastic of the trunk. And it does have double purpose - break light and tail light.
